GK/R2 liabilities in this meta?
I recently switched to titans from empire after growing bored of mirror matches and I've been doing well enough to hold my rank in the top 50, but it feels like GK and R2 are just placeholders. My lineup is zCLS (ibat) zR2 (NC) zHan, Thrawn and GK.
The problem with GK is all the TM the enemy gains when using the negotiator, so it can really only be used in VERY rare circumstances. His basic attack is the typical wet noodle that comes with being a Jedi and lead the charge is another rare circumstance ability due to all the Sion and TFP that make buffing difficult.
R2 just feels like a stat booster. I haven't put a zeta on combat analysis for the same reason I don't use the negotiator often, it could be more damaging than beneficial. Smoke screen is still a great ability but with all these friggin TFP running around I find it hard to use often, although I've been considering speeding him up enough to get it off before TFP has a turn. His stun is great but it feels like it never sticks when I NEED it to stick! I know I should add more potency but I just don't have enough mods to be picky with secondary stats other than speed. Improvise is a good ability but I usually need a stun more.
So, both are amazing characters without a doubt, but in this meta are they just the placeholders I feel like they are? I'm thinking I would do MUCH better with OB as my tank, being able to taunt on command, having an aoe ability block and giving mass buffs on death sounds pretty juicy!
And how about R2? Am I getting as much from him as I would from say, Ezra? Leia? A secondary tank?
